CFP: Joint ICTM-IE/SMI Annual Postgraduate Conference

Joint ICTM-IE/SMI Annual Postgraduate Conference

As part of the collaboration between the Society for Musicology in Ireland and the Irish National Committee of the International Council for Traditional Music, we are pleased to announce the second joint postgraduate conference taking place in Maynooth University on Friday the 19th and Saturday the 20th of January 2018.

The conference committee would like to invite postgraduates working in all areas of musical research to submit proposals for conference papers. Each speaker will be given 20 minutes for their paper, followed by a 10-minute discussion. Areas of research include but are not limited to historical and cultural musicology, ethnomusicology, music theory and analysis, music technology, music pedagogy, popular music studies, performance studies and practice-based research, and the psychology of music. The conference committee also welcomes proposals from postgraduate scholars working on music-related topics or themes in other areas of the humanities. Aside from the traditional paper sessions, there will also be a Careers Forum - a panel discussion offering advice and guidance to postgraduate students on career-related matters - scheduled as part of the conference.

To submit a proposal, please send an email attachment (.doc, .docx, pdf.) to the conference committee at ictm.smi.pg2017@gmail.com with the following information:
